Question

1. Calculate the theoretical yield of cyclohexene, based on the amount used in your  experiment.

2. Calculate the percent yield for your experiment. The chemist produced 8.34 mL of cyclohexene

3.If either the percent yield or percent recovery is less than 60% discuss possible reasons for the low yield/recovery and suggest improvements that a chemist could make to the synthesis to increase the yield or recovery.
